Add an Injury/Illness Record to an Incident

Objective

To create an injury or illness record within an incident.

Background

When you create an incident in Procore, you can add one or more incident records to capture details. When an injury or illness occurs on a project, use the steps below to capture important information about the incident.

Users who have NOT been granted the 'Create Reference Users (Only Applicable if Timesheets or Incidents is Enabled)' granular permission can:

Add a new reference user when the person does NOT already exist in the Company or Project Directory.

View existing reference users as a drop-down selection for all projects in the company's Procore account.

Users who have NOT been granted the 'Create Reference Users (Only Applicable if Timesheets or Incidents is Enabled)' granular permission do NOT have sufficient permission to add new reference users. However, they do have sufficient permission to view reference users added by others on the project and to select an existing reference user when adding a record.
